Actually, all is (mostly} just fine, but I just wanted to use that goofy title

Snot IS, however, currently dripping down the back of my throat AND I discovered today that my boobs have SHRUNK 2 inches in the last year or so!!

I blame this on Laurent.

Boob shrinkage is bad.

The silver lining to THAT story is that, as a result, I get to spend less per project as one needs less yarn to make a 32″ busted whatever vs. a 32″ busted whatever! I’m SAVING MONEY!

I think I’d rather have my boobs back though.

Anyone have some HoHos? Seriously! Anyone?

mmmmm. HoHos…

Speaking of knitting, I totally have nothing to knit.

I mean, I have a STASH an’ all, but like…I HAVE NOTHING TO KNIT! WAH!

I spent HOURS at the shop today just STARING at the yarn. whattoknitwhattoknit. I wasn’t even EXCITED about it… it was wierd. I was all, “Hoooollllllyyyyy!!! What do I KNIT?!?!?!?!?!!?!?”. She tried to pawn her knitting off on me, but I’m too quick on my feet, yo. GIRL, YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN WITH THAT THING!

I have ideas, sorta…I just have to wait till the check clears, you know what I’m sayin? In the meantime, I stash busted and made a couple little som’n som’ns I can’t show you right now. What I CAN show you is the reason why I currently have nothing (weather-appropriate) to knit:

FINISHED JAYWALKERS!

They’re in STR, colorway: Pebble Beach!

YAY! (They’re only a month and a half late for the knitalong, but WHATEVER!)

This weekend includes a live broadcast from the Platinum Club, cleaning the apt., NOT going on a date with a boy that, turns out, is not for me*, and GAME NIGHT! WOOT! Hope you have a good one

* I know, I know, ‘dumping’ one of my options is NOT a good way to meet my goal. I realize this. But you gotta do what you gotta do, right?

This was Chelsea’s Bonsai that she was going to leave behind. I stole it and brought him home and held him and squeezed him and loved him (I did not, however, call him George). I wanted to name it after Chelsea somehow, so I named him Austin. That plant does NOT in any way look like an Austin though… thus, he became Austin Scarlett.

Even though the crew is one-by-one ditching us, the knitting must go on!!!

This is sock 1 of a pair of Jaywalkers.

That picture as taken at the beginning of February. I am now 13 rows of 2×2 rib away from having a semi-matching pair!!!! I’m lazy though, so I have no progress pics of said second sock. Next post though, WATCH OUT!

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I am going to go scope out boys at the gym. After all, THERE ARE ONLY 89 DAYS LEFT!!!!!

* by opportunitieS (plural), I mean all of 2. AND they were of the “hey baby, let’s get it ON !”variety. I, much to my dismay, am wired in such a way that I need more of a commitment to give it up. {{sigh}} I’m still sorta kicking myself for this one though.

Before you feel too badly for me though, I have to say that for every disadvantage my job affords me…

…there is this.

Really, my job kicks some kind of crazy ass some days.

I had to get up at the butt-crack of dawn to snap that pic and hear him sing one song, but it was WORTH it. You can watch the whole thing in its entirety right here. (you can also download a podcast version there as well.)

I’m pretty sure I acted like a complete dork, babbling something about how “Goodbye My Lover” makes all my friends cry. You’d think after years of this kind of thing, I’d get my shit together…

oh well. heh

The best part?

Whenever an artist comes to the studio, they record ‘liners’ for the station and each of the djs. You know, something like ” Hey, this is Joe Blow, and you’re listening to Julian on HOT 99.5!” That kinda thing.
